A Bash script to help re-size a PostgreSQL VARCHAR column to a NEW SIZE, taking care to adjust for required meta-data space. This kind of script greatly helps in scenarios where an existing table (probably with tons of data already) suddenly becomes restricting for certain longer values to be inserted. You might also use it to re-size to a small…
#!/usr/bin/sh
if [ -z "$1" ]
then
echo "Usage: "$0" DBUSER DB TABLE COL NEWSIZE"
else
USER=$1
DB=$2
TABLE=$3
COL=$4
SIZE=$5

My Django WSGI bootstrap script that is *so generic* it might work as a default replacement in any standard Django project. If you created your project using the default: django-admin.py startproject PROJECT, then just try switching your PROJECT/PROJECT/wsgi.py with this.
import os, sys
base = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))
base_parent = os.path.dirname(base)
sys.path.append(base)
sys.path.append(base_parent)
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = '%s.settings' % os.path.basename( os.path.dirname(__file__) )

mcnemesis / 350_exim4-config_virtual_aliases
Created July 4, 2013 14:43
Defining an Exim4 Router to allow Exim to route mails for virtual domains using custom virtual domains aliases.
#####################################################
# router/350_exim4-config_virtual_aliases
#####################################################
#---------------------------
# This router is added so that we can use this server for multiple domains
# And also be able to define custom aliases for each of these domains...
# NOTE : this router is placed before the system_aliases router so that virtual domain
# routing takes precedence over system_aliases
